hack

hack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from miru-zero/zero-brain. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,987 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hack, MIT.

A top-level guide for planning authorized web and API security testing. It helps identify the testing phase and choose a more specific vulnerability guide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan reconnaissance, vulnerability validation, privilege-escalation checks, exploit-chain analysis, and selection of specialized web-security skills.
Why use it?
It prevents testing from jumping straight into an unsuitable technique and requires the target’s scope and authorization to be confirmed first.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hack scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

HACKING SKILLS / HackSkills

Overview

This is a top-level routing skill for bug bounty, web security, API security, and authorized penetration testing.

Its core role is not to replace all specialized techniques, but to help the agent:

  1. First determine the testing phase (Recon / Validation / Privilege Escalation / Chain building)
  2. Then select the correct vulnerability category
  3. Avoid relying only on baseline model memory; prefer structured methodology
  4. Prioritize boundary conditions AI often misses but that matter in real engagements

Trust Model

  • This knowledge base emphasizes content safety and auditability.
  • Use this only within authorized targets, legitimate research, defensive validation, and bug-bounty-approved rules.
  • Do not use these techniques for unauthorized attacks.
  • Zero Scope Gate: ก่อน ACT กับ target จริงต้องมี scope + auth.status=granted + network_profile ครบ — อ่านสัญญาเต็มในสมอง (zero_search "Scope Gate") ไม่ครบให้ถามผู้ใช้ก่อนเสมอ ห้าม ACT

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill first in the following scenarios:

  • You just received a new bug bounty target and do not know where to start
  • You need to decide whether to load XSS / SQLi / SSRF / IDOR / JWT / API tracks first
  • You want the agent to perform Web/API security testing with a more stable methodology
  • You need to route scattered findings to the right attack surface
  • You want AI to miss fewer critical test points in security work

Operating Model

Step 1: Start with Recon and context validation

Collect first:

  • Target type: classic web, REST API, mobile backend, admin panel, payment flow, file upload, GraphQL
  • Identity and permission model: anonymous, regular user, admin, multi-tenant
  • Input locations: URL, query parameters, JSON, headers, cookies, filenames, imported files, templates, reflection points
  • Output locations: HTML, attributes, JS, PDF, email, logs, background tasks, mobile endpoints

Step 2: Route by observed behavior

hack is a skill published in the GitHub repository miru-zero/zero-brain (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,987 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to hack, differing in 324 lines, and is treated as a copy.
